Sarah Price

[Wolverine]

I scanned through (and searched) the board for a discussion of this topic and wasn't able to find anything, so apologies if this is a duplicate.

Anyone catch this little gem (http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2006/1/emw329856.htm)?


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 6, 2006 -- Author and spiritual medium Sarah Price has released “Above Us Only Sky: A View of 9/11 from the Spirit World,” her new book comprising channeled messages from victims of 9/11 and “spirit witnesses.” The book is the first to bring the words of the victims to the public post-9/11.
....
Among the spirit witnesses are Anne Frank, Christopher Reeve, President John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and NBC journalist David Bloom, who bring their own insights on the events of 9/11 and advice on life in general.

Among the spirit witnesses are ...Christopher Reeve... Um... didn't he die in 2004?

Um... 2004 was after 2001.

Then how can he -- I mean -- in the -- 3 years -- and how -- :eye-poppi

See, she's contacting the famous dead for their opinions on 9/11 and death in general. Because she's psychic and talks to them.

Apparently, Christopher Reeve's thoughts on death begin with a "C" or an "S."

She's also bringing us the thoughts of a number of the 9/11 victims themselves - named victims. The families would be justified in asking why their loved ones chose to talk to this idiot crystal-waver instead of them.

[Hellbound]

You know, this lead me to an interesting thought.

Say I had a restraining order against a psychic.

After I died, a loved one went to see said psychic.

The psychic in question contacts my spirit (supposedly), and speaks to my loved one.

Could the psychic then be charged with violating a restraining order?

It would put the psychic in the interesting position of being forced to either admit they are a fraud (thus showing they did not violate the restraining order) or to face the charges.

On a secondary note, any chance of a class action representing deceased persons, charging psychic with, say, misrepresentation?

I'm wondering if there's any possibility here for a legal battle :)

Since the writings, communications and images of a deceased person generally belong to estate-holders, a legal case for misrepresentation may be possible.
In addition, if this crystal-waver really believes she is channelling the words of dead people, then she is knowingly infringing the copyrights of these people - unless she can prove that the dead people gave her the reproduction rights.
Now, that could be an interesting case.....

(Note: I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.)

[jj]

Oh, that would be fun. If this person is sincere, she's got copyright problems. If not, um, err, then what?

But this book capitalizing on a tragedy, and in this particularly annoying fashion, disgusting.

[Wolverine]

Hmm, I'm a bit surprised this hasn't prompted more outcry.

[Piscivore]

Interesting choice of title. I guess she doesn't care about the meaning of the words she's stealing quoting, as long as they sound lofty and beautiful.

[LostAngeles]

If I utter a four letter word and it's an accurate description, does it still violate rule 8?

You know, I've always wondered about this. What if the person in the afterlife was a terrible speller?

And suppose you were talking to a person who wanted to know about an ancestor who only spoke Chinese? Would the medium say:

[Loon]

I've always wondered about that too. I suppose they just take the closest English sound at the start of the syllable. I don't know any of the Chinese pronunciations, but you'd score that character a hit with N, A, or S.

The medium would just say "Well, I don't speak that language, so they're telling me something in a language I do speak." Because the spirits can learn new alphabets, but they never learn to give you a full name.

Yeah, Polish must give them fits. What if Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski tried to contact a paternal ancestor?

(For those who don't know, it's pronounced "she-SHEF-ski")

No it's not. It is:

"Okay, I admit it. Yoko really can't sing."

Now that I'm dead, I can finally speak my mind.

[ungoliant]

shoot! why didn't i think of this? this book would have made me plenty of dough!

i gotta be more ontop of these woo ideas, a fella can make a real buck capitalizing on morons.

ummm, i mean, how morally reprehensible!

ps, this wasn't me, i was channelling sylvia browne's ghost from the future. that's right, she calls herself a 'fella'.

[MWare]

I'm torn between wanting to hang the woman from the highest branch or just ignoring her to avoid giving her any additional publicity.

As someone who lives in NYC and was personally affected by the attack, I'd love to have her come visit. I'm curious to see what the people I knew and worked with are saying. Then we could go visit some of the firehouses decimated in the attack. Finally we'll take a trip to Staten Island and she could point out for us where some of the as of yet undiscovered remains of some of my friends are.

I have to stop with my commentary now before I get into some serious forum rule violations.

[veggie doll]

...Among the spirit witnesses are Anne Frank...

Dragging that poor girl into this is just mean. I mean, she's already had her diary go through about 100 reprints, and be studied by half of the world's western countries english/history classes. She was a child, for goodness sake. Leave her out of this.

Evil, money hungry Sarah Price. :nope:

[Shrike]

MWare, that's gotta be one of the coolest avatars I've ever seen!

[LostSoul]

From her website:"Sarah Price has spent more than twenty years studying psychic phenomena and spirit communication, and developing her own psychic abilities. She has done thousands of readings for clients all over the world,"

And yet she only has 7 testimonials, and only 35 people have signed her guest book.

Her upcoming book will be of channeled messages from servicemen and women who have passed away in the Iraq war.

What a vile and disgusting little creature.:mad:

well, even when he was alive I think he would have agreed that the human capacity for reason diminished somewhat post mortem.

[pmckean]

Something's always bugged me about mediumship.

Why don't the dead ever tell us about the workings of the afterlife, itself?

* The limits, or not, of the environment they find themselves in.
* What they experience; see, hear, touch, smell or otherwise.
* Precisely how they interact with other deceased individuals and potential divine' creatures.
* What kind of information resources are available to them?
* How does their reality correspond to ours?
* Can they manifest on earth? If so, in what form?
* Are they constrained dimensionally, i.e. bound by the same rules of distance and time, etc.

I find it maddening that no mainstream psychic medium ever seems to ask for detailed, coherent description of Heaven.

Even Carl Sagan seems to have gone all new-agey, which is a shame. If ever there was anyone who could give is us all an erudite and thorough description of his post-death surroundings, it's him.

Of course, it could be that they're making it all up and just haven't thought about it - or are terrified of consistency issues with other mediums.

I haven't seen much evidence of consistency between psychics, so I'm leaning towards the former explanation.

[Glite]

I looked at the site, in the guest book some folks had posted some skeptical points of view. They have been removed it seems. Guess she doesnt want to answer for her BS.

[Hitch]

No it's not. It is:

"Okay, I admit it. Yoko really can't sing."
"Now that I've met him in person, I'm at least 3 inches taller than Jesus."
